As many of you know, Fairfax County is planning to build completely new quarters for both the Reston Regional Library and the Embry Rucker Shelter.

As project planning ramps up, the County is now actively reaching out and seeking input, and your support is critical to keeping our library as the vibrant community resource we've come to know and love. The opportunity to make our voices heard will not last forever.

Our county supervisor Cathy Hudgins will hold a public meeting about plans for the new library and shelter at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at South Lakes High School Lecture Hall. (South Lakes High School - 11400 South Lakes Drive, Reston) We encourage you to attend, to ask questions, to provide your thoughts, and to stay involved in the plans for your library.

To learn more about the Reston Town Center North Redevelopment, you can review information posted on the County's website at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/restontowncenternorth/

Please take a few moments now to consider how you think Fairfax County should build the next Reston Library. Mark your calendar to attend the meeting on November 4. If you cannot attend, please feel free to forward your comments and thoughts to us. We welcome your input on this subject!

Thank you for helping us continue to support the Reston Library!

-- The Friends of the Reston Regional Library

P. S. If you are stopping by the Reston Library, please visit the Information Desk or the Children's Desk to fill out one of our surveys. It's another way you can provide your input and support for the planning of your new Reston Library.

Take a break from virtual electronics and have fun fitting actual puzzle pieces together!

Come to the 2015 Puzzle Sale October 29 through November 1 at the Reston Regional Library. The Reston Friends are offering used puzzles galore, puzzle books, plus an assortment of gently used games for additional family fun.

All items offered "as is", jigsaw puzzle piece counts not verified. Be sure to come early for best selection. Payment by cash or check only. Sorry, credit card payment will not be available at this mini sale.

Donations of gently used puzzles and games are welcome through Sunday, Oct 25.

So be sure to join the library staff and volunteers in celebrating the library's past and welcoming the future!

If you have photos, stories or memories to share about the library, please send them to us on Twitter @lovebooksreston , on Facebook www.facebook.com/RestonLibraryFriends , or by email to restonfriendspr@gmail.com so we can post them and add them to our celebration.

We'd like to take just a moment to give a hearty "thank you!" for the local businesses who helped sponsor the Fall book sale. This sponsorship comes to support our volunteer staff during the sale, and who are now resting and recovering afterwards.

Most of us are already patrons of these businesses - we hope you are too!
